ON THE COVER WILLAMETTE FALLS FISHWAY A long cherished dream of Oregon conservationists moved a big step closer to realization during this biennium when construction was started on the new Willamette Falls fishway. To be sure, there has been a fish ladder of sorts at the falls since 1904, but except for periods when the water level was just right, it has been a far from satisfactory installation. Spring chinook have been able to pass the barrier with some degree of success, as have steelhead, but for fall chinook and coho the situation has been all but hopeless. When the new fishway is completed, hopefully in the not too distant future, vast reaches of prime upriver spawning and rearing area will become readily accessible to salmon and steelhead. This should eventually mean a several fold increase in the Willamette runs. Planning and construction of the new fishway is under the direction of the Fish Commission with the federal government, through the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, providing 84 per cent of the cost and Portland General Electric Company making up the balance. As this biennium ends, Phase A, the cul-de-sac leg of the structure, is being built. When the rest of the fishway will be constructed depends on the availability of federal funds. But the long awaited project is underway, and that is great news to all who are interested in the well-being of Oregon's rich salmon and steelhead heritage.

In the photo above, a Russian side trawler, or SRT, is shown alongside a factory vessel. FROM THE DIRECTOR'S DESK Umatilla and Warm Springs tribes have adhered to their agreement with the commission to refrain from commercial gill netting in the Columbia, the Yakimas, and to a lesser degree the Nez Perce, have fished commercially in violation of state fishing regulations. the fisheries management Beginning early in 1966, and enforcement agencies of Oregon and Washington, in cooperation with the county courts and some district attorneys, launched a concerted effort to enforce state conservation laws on Indians and non-Indians alike The effort was notably effective. Trawl fishery landings reached an all-time high in 1965 when 33 million pounds were unloaded at Oregon ports. This exceeded the previous high catch of 1962 by more than 1.5 million pounds. Pacific Ocean perch led with 13.8 million pounds. Even as the trawl fishery gained momentum, the traditional grounds off Oregon and Washington were invaded by a sizeable Russian trawl fleet early in 1966. Efforts of the Soviets were first centered on Pacific Ocean perch, a species for which a U. S. fishery had rapidly expanded during recent years. Russian trawling soon skimmed the readily available perch stocks and the invading fleet turned its main attention to hake. Hake have long been considered a trash fish, but a U. S. fishery on the species for reduction to meal and oil was developing. Concentration of Russian effort on hake seriously hampered these plans. It is During the 1964-66 biennium the operations of the Fish Commission Com were m a r k e d with a heartening hea num number o successes tempere d with u n reso l ve d con of flicts and problems. Some of these matters will be discussed briefly. Their variety merely hints at the wide scope of commission activities. The management of Oregon's foodfish resource is a complex pursuit, fraught with myriad problems involving conflicting interests and demands. During this biennium, the department was again most fortunate in having as policy makers Commissioners Meierjurgen, Huffschmidt, and Hall. From their busy schedules they have given much time and effort, not infrequently at considerable personal expense. Guidance from these able men has been the foundation of many of the accomplishments of the agency during this report period. The problem of an unregulated commercial fishery on the Columbia River by certain Indians has caused much concern during recent years. During the 1965 season, more than a million pounds of salmon and steelhead were put on the market by the tribesmen. There were indications that the Indian catch would increase in subsequent years. This large and relatively unregulated harvest poses a serious threat to management of the Columbia River runs. Although the [4] REGULATORY ACTION OF THE COMMISSION further study. Commission meetings are open to the public and are advertised well in advance to give those who are interested the opportunity to attend and participate. It is gratifying to note the amount of interest in the affairs of the commission. Most meetings are well attended. With ever more dams being constructed in the Columbia River system, the loss of suitable spawning and rearing areas for salmonids has become critical. Adding to the situation are unfavorable conditions for passage of upstream-bound adults and downstream migrating smolts. The situation has become especially critical for summer run chinook. For the first time in the history of the Columbia River fisheries, the summer season was completely closed in 1965 to protect small chinook and sockeye salmon runs. This closure climaxed a trend toward shorter summer seasons. The summer commercial fishing season was decreased from 50 days in the early 1940's to around 25 days by the early 1960's. This season was drastically reduced from 24 days in 1963 to 5 days with gear restrictions in 1964, and finally to no season in 1965. In support of this move, the Oregon Game Commission and the The establishment of regulations to protect, enhance, and perpetuate the foodfish resources of the state is a primary responsibility of the Fish Commission. Before any regulation is adopted, a public hearing on the matter must be conducted. In keeping with the law, during the past biennium the commission held sixteen public hearings during which foodfish regulations were discussed and acted upon. Ten other regular monthly meetings of the commission were conducted during the two-year period. Joint meetings with the Washington Department of Fisheries regarding Columbia River commercial fishing regulations were conducted a number of times each year, starting with the regularly scheduled January meeting. At this and other meetings where regulatory matters are considered, staff members present pertinent biological background and make recommendations regarding fishing seasons. Comments on the matter under discussion are invited from the floor. The commissioners may then set seasons, adopt new regulations, change existing ones, or table the matter for An estimated 550 people were on hand at the January 1966 meeting of the Oregon Fish Commission and the Washington Department of Fisheries in Portland's Memorial Coliseum. Discussion centered on Columbia River commercial fishing regulations. Division of Fish and Game in enforcing a quota on the catch from a large bed of shrimp off their northern coast adjacent to the Oregon border. In the past, after the California quota was reached, fishermen continued to fish the bed and land the shrimp in Oregon., defeating the purpose of the regulation. Adoption of the Oregon regulation made the California regulation effective. Two areas from which commercial fishing was excluded but sport fishing was allowed to continue were reviewed at the request of commercial trollers. These areas, at the mouth of the Umpqua River and the entrance of Coos Bay were closed to commercial fishing in 1953 and 1956 respectively. This action was taken to alleviate the sport-commercial problem involving sport fishermen who were buying commercial fishing licenses in order to circumvent the personal use possession limit, and selling fish through other than regular commercial channels. Revision of both sport and commercial fishing regulations since that time precludes the need of the closures. Since conservation was no longer the basis for the regulations, the commission acted to remove the closures. Washington Department of Fisheries closed the Columbia River to salmon angling from June 21 to July 29, with an extended closure to August 20 above Bonneville Dam. Sport fishing closures in Idaho further protected the Salmon River portion of the summer chinook run. In 1965 the only significant harvest of summer chinook or sockeye salmon in the Columbia River occurred in the Indian set-net fishery above Bonneville Dam from June 14 to July 24. A general order was adopted by the commission to legalize commercial fishing for herring with a herring jig. This relatively recently introduced method of securing bait fish for offshore salmon angling is a source of income for numbers of school-age Oregonians who are situated near one of the bays where herring occur in quantity. A subsequent change in license requirements provides for issuance of free commercial herring jigging licenses to youngsters 17 years and younger. Regulations were amended to provide an annual closed season on shrimp from October 31 to March 1 in cooperation with the State of California. The basis of this change was a problem faced by the California [6] WATER RESOURCES SECTION Demands on the water resources of the state continue to increase with each passing year. Requirements of water user groups representing hydro-electric power, agriculture, flood control, navigation, logging and related industries, recreation, mining, and others come increasingly into conflict with the fishery resources of Oregon. The water resources section was created to insure that fish life is given proper consideration in water use planning and development. As encroachment of civilization makes itself ever more apparent, the function of the section becomes increasingly more important. Among the projects receiving attention from the section during the biennium were: (1) Participation as a lead agency in determining the future demands for fish in the comprehensive multi-agency Willamette Basin Review Study; (2) Continued development of criteria for minimum streamflows required to maintain fish life; (3) Development and implementation of procedures for calculating potential flow benefits for fish and multi-purpose water development projects; (4) A greatly expanded program to resolve fish passage problems at small dams and other small obstructions; (5) Review of major dam projects affecting anadromous fish throughout Oregon to insure that adequate mitigation for fish losses is obtained at each project; (6) Represent the agency on two interstate fishery technical cornmittees; (7) An accelerated program of pollution investigation and resolving fishery related problems; and (8) A statewide investigation of deficiencies which have become apparent in current gravel removal laws and recommendation of corrective measures. Visitors view one of interpretive signs at Bonneville Hatchery's new selfguided tour. INFORMATION AND EDUCATION SECTION It is the function of this section to inform the people of the state what the commission is doing to manage the foodfish and shellfish of Oregon and to provide educational material regarding this important natural resource. The methods of eccomplishing this are many. Activities of the I&E section during the biennium included: (1) Preparation of news releases which were given wide distribution to newspapers, radio and television stations, and key individuals; (2) Talks to sportsmen's clubs, service groups, school classes, technical gatherings and others on a variety of subjects connected with the agency's work; (3) Handling quantities of correspondence and telephone requests for information regarding commission activities and the foodfish and shellfish under its jurisdiction; (4) Development of information material in response to recurring requests for certain information on such subjects as personal use crabbing, identification of salmonids, and the value of the yearly harvest of foodfish; (5) Still photography to supply illustrative material for reports, brochures, informational publications, newspapers, magazines and displays; (6) Movie photography for television news reports and information or technical films; (7) Preparation of commission meeting minutes, staff meeting reports, and an interdepartmental news letter; (8) Development and manning of public displays such as the joint efforts with the Game Commission at the State Fair in Salem and the Pacific International Livestock Exposition in Portland; (9) Development of a major permanent display—a self-guided tour—at Bonneville Hatchery; and (10) Representing the agency at numerous meetings of sportsmen and others. With dwindling salmon and steelhead spawning and rearing areas, damage to remaining tributaries, as shown in this view of a logging operation, become increasingly serious. [ 8] ENGINEERING DIVISION developed Burrows type which provide improved water circulation and are self-cleaning. Heath egg incubators utilizing stacked fiberglass trays will be used instead of the conventional hatching troughs. In addition, this will be the first Oregon hatchery to use a pumped water supply instead of conventional gravity flow. The capacity of the new hatchery will be one million yearling coho plus one million 90-day fall chinook with provision for future expansion. In addition to major new construction during the biennium, important maintenance tasks were faced by the engineers. Few Fish Commission field stations escaped damage during the December 1964-January 1965 floods. This damage ranged from slight inconvenience at some stations to complete restriction of operations at others. Water associated facilities received the brunt of the flood's wrath. Domestic and hatchery water supply systems were damaged extensively at Cascade, OxBow, Willamette, Marion Forks, Trask, Bonneville, and Alsea Hatcheries. The flood waters deposited large amounts of silt and gravel at many stations. This further complicated the repair operations. Buildings on some stations were damaged by inundation. The South Santiam station sustained extensive damage. Lesser inundation at the Clackamas laboratory required refurbishing and redecorating of parts of that facility. In addition to playing havoc with Commission facilities, the flood left the engineers with extensive stream improvement work throughout the state. This The engineering division consists of office and field groups and is headquartered in the commission's Portland offices. It provides engineering services for the other divisions in construction and maintenance of hatcheries, fishways, and related facilities and conducts stream clearance and improvement projects. A major development during the biennium was the award of a contract for the construction of Phase A, the cul-de-sac leg of the Willamette Falls fishway on the lower Willamette River at Oregon City. Planning was conducted by a Portland consulting firm in cooperation with commission engineers. Late in the biennium construction was started on Phase A. A commission construction inspector is assigned full time to the project, although the work is being done by a private firm which was awarded the job on the basis of competitive bidding. Hopefully, federal funds which will cover about 84 per cent of the total cost of the fishway installation, will be forthcoming during the next biennium. Another engineering milestone during the biennium was the design and letting of the contract for construction of the new $375,000 salmon hatchery on the North Fork of the Nehalem River. In addition to designing the new facility, commission engineers surveyed and cleared the site prior to letting the construction contract. The most modern fish cultural innovations were incorporated into the design of the new hatchery. The rearing ponds will be the recently A massive log jam on Wiley Creek, a South Santiam River tributary near Foster, blocked fish passage. Jam was removed under Fish Commission direction with cooperation of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and local authorities. [9 l work included the removal of a huge log jam on Wiley Creek, removal of 14 log jams in Clatsop, Columbia, and Linn Counties, assistance to Clackamas County authorities in removal of several log jams, and major repairs to five coastal fishways. Federal funding under Public Law 875, state restoration funds, and other contracts provided approximately $192,000 for the stream repair work and approximately $172,000 for the hatchery rehabilitation. Stream improvement work during the biennium, unrelated to the winter flooding of 1964-65, included the construction of laddering facilities on two tributaries of the Wallowa River. A three-sill fishway was constructed at Sheep Ridge Dam on the Lostine River. On the Minam River, provisions for passage, including installation of stream-width log sills, were completed over a falls, a cascade, and a splash dam. Two small fish ladders were constructed on Drift Creek, a tributary of the Alsea River. A natural rock dam was breached on the East Fork of the South Fork of the Trask River and a rock cut fishway was constructed on the Little North Fork Santiam River. In combating the perennial problem of log jammed streams, the engineers removed two log jams on Dewey Creek in the Siletz River system and two others on Oak Ranch Creek in the Nehalem system. The removal of 35 log jams on Little Sheep Creek in the lmnaha River drainage opened up eight and one-half miles of prime spawning area. In other construction during the biennium, the 1,250-foot, 20-inch main water supply line at Alsea Hatchery was replaced with a steel line. A 25-ton capacity refrigeration building was constructed at the hatchery to replace a portable unit. At Big Creek Hatchery, 18,000 feet of 30-inch concrete pipeline was installed to replace the main water supply line. At Cascade Hatchery, a staff residence and housing for a government surplus standby generator were constructed. The capacity of Trask Hatchery was increased with the construction of four Burrows type recirculating ponds, and one residence was enlarged and remodeled. At Sandy Hatchery, a metal garage 24 by 45 feet was erected. General maintenance and improvements at all stations were carried out during the biennium. Improvements were made in the holding, handling, and releasing facilities at Klaskanine Hatchery. The Clackamas station was repainted. Roads were repaved at Marion Forks Hatchery. Several buildings were re-roofed at Big Creek Hatchery and the auxiliary pump at Cascade Hatchery was overhauled. Research-oriented activities included coordination with Portland General Electric Company on the establishment of a Pelton Experimental Hatchery, and contract construction of experimental holding facilities near the mouth of the Deschutes River. A vaned conduit concept of fish passage was explored, designed, FISH CULTURE DIVISION New techniques in handling adult and fingerling fish, .further refinements in the Oregon pellet, and better methods for detecting and treating fish diseases were-among the advances made in hatchery operations during this biennium. Results of the general up-grading of hatchery practices during recent years continue to be reflected in the increased returns of adults to hatcheries despite heavy commercial and sport harvests. The commission operates 14 hatcheries and one pilot facility. These stations produce fall and spring chinook, coho, and chum salmon and steelhead trout. Four of the commission's Columbia River hatcheries are included in a comprehensive fall chinook evaluation program which also involves Washington state and federal hatcheries located in the system. Large numbers of fall chinook fingerlings produced at these stations in four successive seasons were fin-clipped. Marking was concluded in the spring of 1965. Early returns indicate many Columbia River fall chinook are taken off the west coast of Vancouver Island, at least some are taken in California and Alaska waters, and substantial numbers are landed in the commercial and sports fisheries off Oregon and Washington and in the Columbia River. An evaluation of hatchery coho production by the States of Oregon and Washington and the Fish and Wildlife Service was started in 1966. This study includes hatcheries in other parts of the two states as well as in the Columbia River system. The Fish Commission's participation is financed partially with federal funds. The project began with marking of yearlings early in 1966. The first returns of marked adults to the hatcheries will be in the fall of 1967. The proportion of hatchery-reared fish taken in the sport and commercial fisheries is a measure of hatchery success. Coho fishing has been exceptionally good for both sportsmen and commercial fishermen during the past few years. The coho sport catch at the mouth of the Columbia River has increased steadily from the estimated 34,600 landed in 1960. In 1961 the catch was 85,500, in 1963 it was 116,000, in 1964 some 134,000 and in the 1965 season 247,000. In 1965 both the Oregon ocean troll and the Columbia gill-net landings for coho were the best in 30 years. Indications are that Fish Commission hatcheries have made a substantial contribution to this upsurge. The current hatchery evaluation program will indicate more precisely the extent of this contribution. Other species show less spectacular gains than coho, although results are encouraging. Table 1 shows that, except for fall chinook and chums, there are many more fish returning to the hatcheries now than during the early 1960's. The Columbia River gill-net fishery appeared to take a larger number of hatchery produced fall chinook in 1965 than in previous years, which may account in part for the decline in the number returning to the hatcheries. The chum run, which Top: Coho eggs from Klaskanine Hatchery being prepared for shipment to federal hatchery at Abernathy, Washington. Center: Fin-clipping young salmon in hatchery evaluation study.

Because of this, it has been possible to provide eggs to other agencies including the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Oregon Game Commission, and the conservation departments of California, Colorado, Idaho, Michigan, and Washington. Release of large numbers of unfed fingerling salmon continued during this biennium. The emphasis was switched from coastal lakes to smaller tributaries along the coast as well as in the Columbia and Willamette systems. In 1965 unfed fingerlings totaling 20.5 million coho and 1.4 million spring chinook were released. In 1966, 15.7 million coho and 2.6 million spring chinook unfed fingerlings were stocked. There were some liberations in areas recently made available to anadromous fish by stream clearance or laddering, or in waters that were accessible but supported no natural runs or only remnant runs. Other plants were made above impassable falls or other obstructions which otherwise prevent utilization of good rearing areas. Adults derived from fry liberations in these latter sites will be unable to return to their nursery areas for spawning, but provide additional fish for both the sport and commercial fisheries. Preliminary indications are that these releases may be a worthwhile means of utilizing fingerlings hatched in excess of regular fish cultural requirements. Faced with returning spawners far in excess of hatchery needs, a program of transplanting adult coho from Fish Commission hatcheries was conducted during the 1965 season. In cooperation with the Game Commission, more than 38,000 of these adult coho were trucked from hatchery traps to Willamette, Columbia, and coastal tributaries and allowed to spawn naturally. Smaller numbers of adult steelhead were transplanted from the Marion Forks and Big Creek Hatcheries. The commercial fishery in Young's Bay, re-established in 1961 and supported almost entirely by coho A portable stamina tunnel developed to measure vitality of salmon and steelhead. .oduction of the Klaskanine Hatchery, continued during this biennium. Commercial landings and hatchery returns are shown in Table 2.

Despite these increased landings and a substantial sport harvest, hatchery returns continue to grossly exceed fish cultural requirements at the Klaskanine Hatchery. The program of providing carcasses of returning fish to state and county institutions and certain Indian groups was continued. During 1964, public institutions received 28,079 fish and the Indians 6,017. In 1965, distribution was 14,564 and 6,626 fish respectively. Most of the fish involved were spawned during hatchery egg-taking operations; however, some in excess of hatchery requirements were distributed in the round. The production of fingerling salmonids at commission hatcheries during the biennium reached 1,037,000 pounds for the first year and 1,032,000 pounds during the second. Production of this general magnitude is considered maximum with current facilities. The completion of the new North Nehalem River Hatchery and the use of Wahkeena Pond for [ 12 ] rearing coho, should result in increased production during the next biennium. The Oregon pellet continued to be the basic hatchery ration. Because of production problems with small pellets, it is still necessary to start spring and fall chinook on a meat diet. Coho are started on the Oregon pellet and steelhead on a commercial dry food. Oregon pellets are now ordered on an annual basis rather than more frequently as in the past. Although fish food prices have gone up from 12.50 cents per pound in 1965 to 13.07 cents per pound in 1966, a better conversion kept food cost per pound of fish produced to 24.8 cents, the same as the previous biennium. The average conversion for all species was 1.9 pounds of food per pound of fish during 1964-66 compared with 2.1 during the 1962-64 period. A number of improvements in fish cultural technique were put into operation during the past two years. Rearing fish to larger size before liberation was one. Within limits, the larger young fish are when they are released, the higher the rate of survival. move to the ocean. At this stage scales are loose, and excessive scale loss frequently resulted from some of the earlier methods of handling. To minimize this scale loss fingerlings are now weighed before they smolt. At liberation it is necessary to handle only a sample lot to determine the amount of growth and this figure is applied to the total. At other stations, weight of fingerlings is determined by displacement of water in a tank. This technique also minimizes handling of the young fish. Some preliminary work on the use of anesthetics to ease the chore of sorting adult fish prior to spawning offers considerable promise and will be more fully explored during the coming biennium. One of the two adult holding ponds at Dexter Dam on the Middle Willamette River was used to rear spring chinook fingerlings. This gave much needed additional rearing space. In 1964-65, 767,000 yearlings averaging 11.7 fish per pound were reared. In 1965-66 the 963,000 yearlings reared averaged 13.6 fish per pound. Diet experiments continued during the biennium in an effort to further improve the Oregon pellet, the standard ration at commission hatcheries. Despite record sp ort and commercial catches of coho, spawners such as these jumping at the commission's Alsea Hatchery water supply dam, returned to hatchery streams far in excess of fish cultural requirements. Growth rate was improved substantially at the Bonneville Hatchery when warmer Columbia River water was mixed with the regular hatchery water from Tanner Creek which is quite cold during spring and early summer. By reviewing water temperature records at all hatcheries it was noted that the highest water temperature was reached during late afternoon. Feeding schedules were adjusted to take advantage of this period of increased fish activity to gain maximum use of the food. Improved methods of weighing and counting fingerlings prior to release were adopted during the past two years. At the time of release the fingerlings are usually "molting." This is a physiological condition which occurs shortly before the fish are ready to Outbreaks of fish diseases caused concern on a number of occasions during the two-year period. Furunculosis and columnaris were the two most common. Both are controlled by feeding medicated pellets but significant losses occurred before control measures became effective. Ceratomyxa appeared for the first time at several hatcheries. This disease about which little is known appears to be associated with large impoundments such as those on the Columbia River. It poses a serious threat to the hatchery program. Hopefully, a method of overcoming the threat will be forthcoming in the near future. summarizes the principal projects underway during fiscal years 1965 and 1966. Biometrics Statistical services involving design and analysis of experiments are provided by this section to the various investigations of the Research Division. Computers at Oregon State University Computer Center have been utilized at an increased rate for this analysis. In addition, a federal contract to process data from the Columbia River fall chinook hatchery evaluation study continued during the period. Planning aspects for a similar program involving coho hatcheries were completed. A spring chinook clears a step in the old Willamette Falls fishway as Fish Commission counter records passage. RESEARCH DIVISION The Research Division conducts research studies and investigations to obtain data and information upon which to base a sound management and conservation program for the food fishes of Oregon. This includes recommending regulations to the Commission for their consideration dealing with commercial fishing for all species and recreational fishing for shellfish. Laboratories and field stations are maintained at strategic locations throughout the state. The headquarters is at Clackamas and other laboratories are maintained at Astoria, Newport, Charleston, and Sandy. Field offices for special projects are currently located at Gold Beach, Redmond, Carmen-Smith spawning channel, Cougar, Elgin, and Enterprise. Cooperative projects are also conducted with Oregon State University at Corvallis and Astoria. The division is divided into sections, or investigations, each headed by a project leader. The following Coastal Rivers Selected key index areas on coastal streams continue to be monitored to enumerate spawning salmon populations. The numbers observed provide an index of relative abundance needed to assess the condition of the spawning stocks and establish population trends. Of particular interest were continued low spawning ground counts of chum salmon entering Tillamook Bay tributaries. Changes in abundance were expected following the commercial fishing closure in 1962. Age, length, and sex ratio data were collected to provide additional information on stocks which have remained at a low level of abundance. Surplus coho salmon adults and fry from coastal hatcheries were planted into selected streams in cooperation with the Game Commission. The fish were generally released above natural barriers or in streams having less than optimum numbers of wild fish. Studies on lake rearing of coho salmon were conducted in Hall Lake and Camp Creek Pond. Investigations at Hall Lake are designed to determine the optimum number and size of fish to plant in coastal lakes for maximum survival and yield. Camp Creek Pond is a small potential production facility built by the Bureau of Land Management and operated by the Fish Commission. Surveys for location of fish passage obstructions were continued with recommendations for removal made where justified. A helicopter was used in locating barriers, in addition to the conventional means of surveying streams. Close alliance was maintained with various public and private agencies whose work affected stream environments. Potential damage to the fishery resource was reduced and, where possible, passage and rearing facilities were improved by agreements between the agencies. Commercial landings of shad and striped bass were monitored on the Siuslaw, Smith, Umpqua, Coos, and Coquille Rivers. Data collected from the shad fishery included size, sex, and age composition of the catch. Similar data were collected from the striped bass fishery in Coos River. Log books maintained by cooperative fishermen were analyzed for catch and effort data to provide information on relative abundance. Investi- gation of the various fisheries led to adjustment of fishing seasons and mesh regulations. Studies on the ecology of fall chinook salmon in the Elk and Sixes Rivers were continued by examining factors influencing the length of fresh-water residence in the streams. The field work is supplemented by laboratory studies of fish behavior in observation troughs. Findings suggest that aggressive social behavior may cause early downstream movement of fry and that many of these fish take up residence in the brackish estuary area of these streams for the summer months. Studies of juvenile coho populations in index Important activities of the section include close monitoring of the Columbia River fisheries to obtain complete catch statistics and biological data such as age, size, and sex of the fish caught. This information is used in conjunction with predictions of run sizes in regulating the fishery to allow a harvest while achieving the desired escapement necessary to perpetuate the resource. Run predictions are based on studies concerning escapement and subsequent production, test fishing, and early season catches.

This study began in November 1964. Columbia River Watershed Development Data collection for the federal hatchery evaluation program under an Appraisal of Project Results contract continued during the biennium. The work includes extensive sampling of the commercial ocean troll fishery, the Columbia River gill-net fishery, and the hatcheries for fin-marked fall chinook salmon. In conjunction with the evaluation study, intensive spawning ground surveys were conducted on Big and Plympton Creeks to determine the presence of hatchery-produced fall chinook in these streams.

Biological information provided by staff members from both state agencies is used to manage important runs of salmon, steelhead trout, sturgeon, shad, and smelt. Research studies provide the basis for management recommendations given at public hearings and these findings are reported in publications. [ 15 ] vival of juvenile coho salmon in a natural rearing pond. The pond is stocked at different rates and treated somewhat differently each year. In fiscal year 1966 the pond was fertilized and in fiscal year 1967 it will be stocked with one million juvenile coho which will be fed a standard hatchery feed. The other study is to determine if methods can be found to reduce the large number of coho salmon which return to the hatcheries as jacks (two-year old fish) by somehow keeping them at sea until they are ready to return on the spawning run as "normal" three-year fish. Methods being explored are irridation, hormones, and size at time of release. The use of female hormones appears to show promise as a means of achieving the objective. A short-term contract study with the U. S. Army Engineers was conducted in 1965 to determine if the race of fall chinook spawning in the section of the Columbia River to be inundated by the John Day Dam could be identified. This identification was deemed necessary in order to artificially propagate these fish for mitigative purposes. The study showed that stocks destined for upper Columbia River spawning areas (above McNary Dam) could be afforded maximum protection by removing for propagation purposes fish of dark skin coloration that migrate during and after, but not before, the migration peak. A section biologist continued to serve as consultant to the Engineering Division in investigating and evaluating possible habitat improvement projects. This work has included reviewing plans of the proposed Willamette Falls fishway and surveying and evaluating of Fifteen Mile Creek and Hot Springs Fork of the Collawash River where fishways have been proposed. Counts of the 1964, 1965, and 1966 spring chinook, coho, and steelhead escapements past Willamette Falls were obtained. in salmonids at Fish Commission hatcheries and in selected major watersheds. Fish Passage This section conducts contract studies, financed by other agencies and private industry, pertaining to the passage of adult and juvenile anadromous salmonids at dams. Of the three studies in progress at the beginning of the report period, two were concluded. The evaluation of fish passage facilities at North Fork Dam on the Clackamas River, conducted jointly with Portland General Electric Company, resulted in the judgment that passage was successful. A study conducted at North Fork Reservoir and Pelton and Round Butte Reservoirs on the Deschutes River, contracted by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, resulted in the determination of, the limnology and behavior of juvenile anadromous fish in these impoundments. Many activities of the fish were found to be related to specific features of their environment. Evaluation of the Carmen-Smith spawning channel on the upper McKenzie River, financed by the Eugene Water and Electric Board, continued. Four studies were initiated during the period: (1) An evaluation of fish passage facilities at Cougar Dam on the South Fork of the McKenzie River, financed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers; (2) an evaluation of fish passage and fish passage facilities at Round Butte Dam on the Deschutes, conducted jointly with and financed by Portland General Electric Company; (3) an evaluation of fish passage and fish passage facilities at River Mill and Faraday projects on the Clackamas River, also conducted jointly with and financed by Portland General Electric Company; and (4) a study to determine the timing and behavior of juvenile anadromous salmonids in the Imnaha River, financed by Pacific Northwest Power Company. Hatchery Biology Salmonid nutrition studies included evaluation of ingredients for use in the Oregon pellet diet; efforts to develop moist and dehydrated forms of the Oregon pellet for use as starting diets; and investigations to determine the effects of storage conditions on diet quality. Of the various foodstuffs tested, dried skim milk showed the most promise as a potential ingredient for salmon diets. Research is continuing on the incorporation of this and other milk products in Oregon pellet formulation. Modifications of the Oregon pellet formula resulted in the development of a mash form of the diet which has produced encouraging results as a starting ration for chinook salmon. This food is receiving further testing on a production scale. Laboratory feeding experiments demonstrated that the use of improperly stored moist pellets can result in reduced fish growth, poor health, and increased mortality rates. Studies continued on feeding techniques to provide information on how better food utilization and control of fish growth can be achieved. The hatchery feeding program was monitored and the quality Infectious Diseases The Infectious Diseases Section was formed in February 1964 from various subsections of Hatchery Biology Investigations and is charged with diagnosis and recommendations for treatment of diseases affecting juvenile and adult salmonids, and to develop, through research, better methods toward these ends. Additionally, supervision is maintained over contract research conducted by personnel of the Department of Microbiology of Oregon State University. Fish health was monitored at all Fish Commission hatcheries and for other fisheries agencies or private citizens when requested. Chemoprophylactic or chemotherapeutic treatments were recommended as required. Bacterial, protozoan, and viral research resulted in: (1) immunological techniques for early detection of certain bacterial diseases; (2) establishment of stable fish cell lines necessary for viral studies; (3) isolation and description of the sockeye salmon virus particle; and (4) a survey to determine the incidence of Ceratomyxa (a pathologically important myxosporidian) [ 16 ] control program for supervision of Oregon pellet manufacture continued. Modification of components based on continuing nutritional studies resulted in a desirab[e improvement in the uniformity of pellet sizes. Research continued on the use of tetracycline drugs for marking juvenile salmonids. Data concerning drug efficacy and safety were obtained in cooperation with the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries and an application was submitted to the Food and Drug Administration requesting clearance to use oxytetracycline as a method for marking Pacific salmon. Work continued to define for salmon fingerlings characteristics which are related to the ability of fish to survive to adulthood. Laboratory equipment was purchased and preliminary work begun on chemical analyses of fish tissues. Additional controlled-temperature fish-holding facilities were designed and installed at the Sandy Laboratory for use in studying effects of water temperature on various chemical and physical characteristics of fish. A portable apparatus for measuring fish swimming ability was designed and constructed for use in evaluating the stamina of fish produced in nutrition experiments and in production hatchery operations. A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the Deschutes River as a potential water source for future salmon hatcheries and to determine if water reconditioning and reuse systems would be feasible techniques to use in holding adult fall chinook salmon and incubating eggs. Unexpected operational and technical difficulties were encountered in efforts to obtain experimental fish from the run passing The Dalles Dam. Many of the fish collected were injured and infected with columnaris and other diseases. Even though these factors prevented a clearcut evaluation of holding techniques and the Deschutes River as a potential hatchery water source, the experiment demonstrated that water reconditioning systems are physically practical and, with some additional developmental work, could offer possibilities for increasing utilization of hatchery water supplies. Approximately three million fall chinook fingerlings from the 1963 and 1964 broods were marked with fin clips and released from Big Creek, Bonneville, Cascade, and Oxbow Hatcheries as Oregon's part of the Columbia River Fishery Development Program hatchery evaluation. Fin marks were also placed on approximately one million 1965-brood coho fingerlings at Fish Commission hatcheries in a program initiated in cooperation with the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries and the Washington Department of Fisheries to evaluate production of coho salmon at hatcheries located on the Columbia River, Puget Sound, and coastal streams of Washington and Oregon. Trawl Fisheries This investigation is concerned with research and management activities on Oregon bottomfish and pink shrimp resources, harvested mainly by the trawl fish[ 17 ] More than 112,000,000 salmon and steelhead fingerlings were liberated into Oregon waters by the Fish Commission during the 1964-66 biennium. ery. These species are found on or near the ocean bottom. Studies on fishes in this vast area are necessarily concentrated on species of major commercial significance. Age and growth studies on Dover sole, petrale sole, English sole, and Pacific Ocean perch are conducted at the waterfront by measuring length and collecting aging structures. Mink food deliveries are monitored to estimate species composition. Collection of fishing effort data and monitoring of catch is done to determine area of catch, changes in area and effort, and changes in stock status. Waterfront sampling of pink shrimp yields data on age, sex, size, and growth of this species. A tagging study on Dover sole and sablefish off northern Oregon was concluded in February 1966. This was part of an Atomic Energy Commission contract to study offshore-inshore movements of groundfish stocks. Two studies were initiated late in 1965 with federal-state matching funds from the Commercial Fisheries Research and Development Act (Public Law 88-309). One study is designed to define the distribution and abundance of pink shrimp off Oregon through survey cruises, intensified waterfront sampling, and sampling-at-sea voyages. Knowledge of the stock size and limits is essential to sound management of this resource. The second study is designed to (1) compile and analyze all data collected in the past on bottomfish; (2) determine abundance, distribution, and recruitment of Dover, English, and petrale sole, and Pacific Ocean perch, with emphasis on Dover sole; and (3) to intensify and refine market sampling on these species. Pelagic Fisheries Within the scope of Pelagic Fisheries Investigations are included research activities on albacore tuna, herring and anchovies, the ocean phase of the salmon's life history, and monitoring responsibility for seismic oil explorations. Late in the biennium, this investigation was merged with Coastal Rivers Investigations creating a new unit. SUGGESTION AWARDS PROGRAM The Employees Suggestion Awards Program was established by the 1955 State Legislature to encourage and reward state employees for suggestions promoting efficiency and economy in state government. During the past biennium seven awards were presented to Fish Commission employees. Archie W. Anderson, Superintendent of Bonneville Hatchery, received $20 for suggesting an improved type of slip-proof coating for hatchery walkways. Evelyn E. Kalmback, Portland office clerk, received $100 for developing a form that provides a complete and accurate record of adult salmonid disposition. FISH COMMISSION SERVICE RECOGNITION PROGRAM In 1960 the Fish Commission inaugurated a program to give official recognition to employees with extended periods of public service. Since the inception of the recognition program, 103 service pins have been presented. George V. Smalley, Superintendent of Klaskanine Hatchery, received four employee suggestion awards during the biennium. These included $65 for suggestions leading to improvements in the hatchery water intake facility, $65 for development of a stationary aerator for water flows at the hatchery, $150 for developing a portable egg-salting tank and $290 for inventing and constructing an automatic fish pellet feeder. Twenty-four service pins were presented during the 1964-66 biennium. They represented 270 manyears of public service. 10 YEAR SERVICE AWARD Robert -J. Ayers Kerry C. Bennett Samuel L Brantner Carl H.

Top Suggestion Awards winner George Smalley (right) is congratulated by Commission Chairman Herman P. Meierjurgen as hatcheryman Otto Bodie looks on. Klaskanine Hatchery superintendent Smalley has received 8 awards and $805 since start of program in 1955. 20 YEAR SERVICE AWARD Otto J. Bodie Mary D. Goetsch George V. Smalley [ 19 ] ifn emoriam On April 19, 1966, the Oregon Fish Commission suffered the loss of two experienced, highly esteemed employees, Virgil C. Summers and Raymond N. Breuser, in the crash of a helicopter during a coastal stream survey in Tillamook County. Also lost in the tragedy was pilot Roger P. Lamoreux of Lakeview, Washington. Raymond N. Breuser was employed by the Fish Commission on June 19, 1951. He was an aquatic biologist and project leader of the commission's Coastal Rivers Investigations stationed for several years at Charleston and later at Newport. He received a B.S. degree in Fish and Game Management from Oregon State College in 1949 and an M.S. degree in Fisheries in 1961. He served as an Air Force bomber pilot during WW II. He was employed for several months by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service as refuge manager at Kodiak, Alaska prior to his employment by the commission. He leaves his wife, Evelyn Amy, and 3 children. Virgil C. Summers began his career with the Fish Commission on October 1, 1949 as a civil engineer. His experience covered a wide range of conservation engineering activities with emphasis on fishways and stream improvement. At the time of his death he was the agency's chief field engineer. He served as a Navy torpedo specialist during WW II and attended the University of Portland from 1945-1949. He worked for the State Highway Department for a short time before coming to the Fish Commission. He leaves his wife, Ruth Elizabeth, and 5 children. * * * Alton E. Splawn began his employment with the Fish Commission on March 16, 1963. He served as administrative assistant at the Clackamas research laboratory until his death in Portland on April 9, 1966, after a short illness. He operated his own business in the Gresham area for 15 years prior to accepting a position with the Public Welfare Commission in Salem in April, 1961. He was a veteran of WW II, serving with the Sea Bees. He is survived by his wife, Helen, and one son. During his short service with the commission he performed well. RETIREMENTS CHARLEY HANSEN On July 31, 1965 Charley Hansen retired from the Fish Commission after completing nearly 24 years in fish culture work with the agency. It was the windup of a second career for Charley for he had worked for the U. S. Forest Service in and around Wallowa County for 20 years before taking the job with the Fish Culture Division. He began work with the commission in December 1942. In 1946 he became superintendent of the Alsea Hatchery. In subsequent years he served as superintendent at Bonneville, Willamette, Sandy, Siletz, and South Santiam Hatcheries. He was stationed at the latter facility when he retired. On the occasion of the presentation of his 20-year service recognition pin some years ago. Commission Chairman Herman P. Meierjurgen said of Charley, "He left his mark at each of the stations where he worked. He has a marked ability to improve the appearance as well as the operation of each such station, while staying within the limited budget. A place for every- thing and everything in its place best describes his method of operation." Charley and his wife Carylon have a home at the Senior Estates in Woodburn and are enjoying a richly deserved retirement. EMMETT 0. NORDLUND Emmett 0. Nordlund was employed by the Fish Commission at the Klaskanine Hatchery on December 5, 1952. He became foreman at the station on January 1, 1956 and continued in that position until his retirement on November 30, 1964. Emmett has been associated with fish and logging for some 45 years. He has gone to the Bering Sea in windjammers to fish for salmon and once was reported lost during a storm while fishing for tuna off the Oregon coast. Although officially retired, on occasion he is called back to work on a part-time basis, giving the state the benefit of his experience and willing hand. Emmett and his wife Mildred make their home near Olney, not far from the Klaskanine Hatchery. LICENSES ISSUED BY CALENDAR YEAR Boat Boat, Lost License Buyer Canner, Fish _.
